Murphy Brown fan

I used to see this show all the time (whichever century it was in). And it promised to revise itself, about the same time that Roseanne hurriedly came back on the air, then her loud mouthed racist personality became objectionable to her own network executives...and Murphy hadn't even come on the air yet. So I was glad to see the Murphy Brown revision. 

I didn't particularly enjoy the first 2 episodes, they felt a bit dated (probably written when the network first decided to have a revision.)  But the one this week was more fun, and continued to be full of slams at the shameful political situation in the US.

In this episode she sparred against "Ed Shannon" author of American Carnage, a book about how our cities are failing because they are overrun by “crimmigrants.” (He represents a slightly disguised Steve Bannon.) But the message from Murphy (whoever wrote this script is my darling favorite) was on target.

Murphy had a fairly long debate, with a big finish to the writer, Shannon, "You're just “an old white guy who’s scared of losing his place at the table,” and “the good people, are going to stamp out your hatred and bigotry and they’ll replace you.”

She say's "You're a sad, sad, sad, sad dinosaur who’s going extinct..."

I then posted my approval of this description of the current GOP/patriarchal system in power in our government.
